以下是引用仗义执言在2006-5-7 9:01:00的发言: so what rule that you prefer to take and what rule can make it reasonable? can you tell me?
I do have my personal preference. However, I believe that a rule subject to the decision of the majority is more appropriate. For example, I'm tired of some of the fake Marxists like "万岁大中华", so if I'm a dictator of this forum, I'd rather exclude him from some serious discussions. And I'm quite sure that some Marxists here do want to exclude some neo-liberals here from discussions for the sake of enhancing the attractiveness of discussion. But under a democratic rule-making background, such expectation is not realistic at all.
However, If no rule a priori was made, democratic decision-making on the forum will simply become the tyranny of majority. You could be thrown out not because your lack of reason, but the lack of reason of the majority. Given that everybody is unreasonable sometime, and sometimes most people could become unreasonable, without the abstract rule, which regulate people's behaviour regardless of their specific identity and specific doing or undoing, everyone is confined by the irrationality of the others.
For my ideal rule-making procedure, I would like to recommend of theory of Rawls, especially the part about the "veil of ignorance". Of course, it is very easy to attack Kantianism from a Marxist perspective. But I believe Marxism itself can hardly providing any realistic suggestions about the procedure of rule-making.
